I'm working on my PC build and realized that my power supply unit (PSU) came with some SATA cables that I won't be using since I've opted for NVMe storage instead. I'm wondering where these extra cables should go because I don't want them just hanging around in the case and causing a mess.

Ideally, there should be a concealed area in your case for the PSU. If that's the case, just let the extra cables sit in there and out of sight.
If your PSU isn't modular, just tuck the unused cables away behind the PSU itself. It'll keep things tidy without any hassle.
If your case has hidden areas like unused 5.25" bays or a PSU shroud, I recommend using these spots to tie up the extra cables. It's a good way to organize everything neatly.
You might want to consider getting a modular PSU for your next build. They really make cable management easier since you only use the cables you need!
